Dressing Ravenclaw : Introduction and Girls 7-16 Shirt
So I've been thinking about this a bit now and then- how to rep my house, without wearing full on Ravenclaw attire head to toe, or wear fancy ball gowns. I want to wear the sort of clothes I could see a Ravenclaw gal wearing while lounging by the Great Lake or while sipping Butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks at Hogsmeade.
I want clothes that are nerdy and quirky. I want RAVENCLAW clothes. I wish there was a clothing line just for us Potterheads with Slytherin and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and Gryffindor get up. And not that junky stuff with the t shirts that say "Ravenclaw" on it in blue.
And I think probably everyone else does too. Funky, fun, artistic clothes for Hufflepuff, bold and brightly colored athletic wear for Gryffindor; sleek and elegant yet simple clothes for Slytherin, and as I already stated, nerdy, quirky clothes for us Ravenclaws.
I was thinking about it for a while and I figure I can't start that clothing line (DUH), therefore the next best thing would be to find clothes that still fit that sort of ideal. So I'm going to this little thing. I'll be talking about nice "Ravenclaw" esque clothes I find around and post how to find them on here.
If any of my readers also have other blogs, you can try this too! Whenever you find some nice Ravenclaw style clothing then post it with the title Dressing Ravenclaw (or Gryffindor or Slytherin or Hufflepuff, whatever your house is): (and then the piece of clothing). Even if you aren't a member of that house and you see something neat you can always reccomend it to them.
If you do do this and you find something, it would be nice if you bought it and could sort of give a review of how it fits, ect. instead of just finding it online
Anyway so this is the first item that I saw a while ago and bought.
It's technically a girl's fit but I got a size sixteen and it fits pretty well, maybe a bit small. the fabric is nice and soft, and I think it's a very simple yet pretty shirt. I wear it a lot, and one nice thing about it is it's very sort of subtle; no one would really notice it as something inherently RAVENCLAW but it still sort of shows your inner Ravenclaw personality. And dressing Ravenclaw isn't about wearing a t shirt proclaiming you're Ravenclaw; that basically proclaims you're a Potterhead. Dressing Ravenclaw is showing you've got the nerdy yet sophisticated style that goes with Ravenclaw. Even if this is a bit small for y'all or you don't like it, hopefully as this progresses I will have a variety of interesting clothing for all of you Potterheads to choose from.

I completely agree! As a Ravenclaw I am always frustrated by the lack of Ravenclaw apparel when most fandom shops have only Gryffindor and Slytherin stuff... and the top is so cool! Especially since canonically Ravenclaw Tower is right next to the astronomy tower I bet Ravenclaws would love any star-printed items.
ReplyDeleteYes exactly! The Gryffindor and Slytherin merch isn't the best but at least it's THERE, if you know what I mean... whereas there isn't anything Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.
